Lengthy Destiel Fics  
Hello Everyone,

So I'm a fast reader, and a very picky reader at that so I tend to go through story as fast as it takes someone to breath (clearly an exaggeration), anyhow I really want to read some lengthy and well written Destiel (A short fic for me has around 10K to 15k words). Please warn me if it's a bottom/sub Dean I'm not fond of it but this will not stop me from reading a great story. I don't read gender swaps unless it's temporarily, no prostitute/stripper Dean, and absolutely no pregnant Dean (pregnant Cas fics are very much encouraged).

I don't like to permanently hurt Dean, Sam or Cas so no blind, or deaf fics. Fics where any one of them are mute is surprisingly fine with me. I honestly don't care who Sam ends up with, although I have some favorite (Sabriel, Sam/Ruby Sam/Jess, Sam/Sarah). Two characters I can never get enough of are Gabriel and Lucifer. I love them both, especially when Lucifer is not completely evil. Please tell me if angst because those I read when I'm in a certain mood and I LOVE humor fics, emphasis on the love.

I just notice how demanding I am. Thank you some much for helping me out.

Edited: Self recs are okay and just wanted to say I absolutely love Charlie, so anything that has her in it I'm going to love.

I've got three incredibly well-written, plotty, long fics for you.

The Law of Conservation of Energy by peroxide-fic
The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one state into another. And what is grace, if not energy? In order to win the war in Heaven, Castiel and the Winchesters embark on a cross-country quest to find the scattered shards of Gabriel’s grace in the hopes that its remaining power will be enough to defeat Raphael before he and Crowley can open the door to Purgatory.

Jesus Christ is dead. Somehow, that isn't the worst part of Dean's week.

On the Wings of War by AlchemyAlice
The four Horsemen are not just people with fancy rings. They aren’t even demons with fancy rings. They are another species entirely, a force unto themselves, and Lucifer is kidding himself if he thinks that they are at his beck and call. They are separate. They are neutral. Dean Winchester is not built like them.

I wouldn't exactly call them overly angsty, but they're definitely not humor fics either. Oh, and there's no graphic sex, so you don't have to worry about bottom!Dean.

Thank you
Those all sound amazing. I already read On the Wings of War, that was how my wing kink started, though honestly that really isn't going to stop me from reading it again. Thank you so much for the recommendations.

I keep a fic rec exactly for this purpose - only well-written fics. 95% of them are long.
Astrozoot's Completely Subjective Destiel Fic Rec List (http://astrozoot.livejournal.com/1692.html)

I never keep track of who tops and bottoms, but you can usually tell by a good summary. I'm a slut for angst, so most will be angsty. And like you, I don't read mpreg or genderswap, so you won't find that there.

Thank you
You have absolutely great taste in reading materials, although I've already went through your list and I've read some of these stories multiple times.

Have you read My Empire of Dirt (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1831612/chapters/3934216) and sequel, I Will Make You Hurt (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2029809/chapters/4403619), by cucoo4cas? It's an AU with Destiel and Sabriel (can't remember who's on top/bottom, sorry). High levels of angst, but great story, and both stories together are I think about 150,000 words. Lucifer is dark, but is fully fleshed-out character in his own right. (Read the warnings on this one)

No I have yet to read them but now I'm looking forward to doing so.

oooh, you just perfectly described Brightly_lit's novel-length Destiel series! Some of my absolutel favorite slash ever. It's wonderfully plotty, romantic and in-character. There IS some serious angst, but also some humor, and a great deal of deep characterization. There is a touch of bottom!dean in one of the later fics, but mostly there's not much of a top/bottom dynamic (the sex in the fics is not graphic) and where there is, it's slanted toward top! Dean. Each fic is longish, none are under 12,000 words, for sure, and each is written to stand on its own, but they work wonderfully as a series. You can find them all on her master fic list; here's the first one, Feathers: http://deancastiel.livejournal.com/4343209.html

Oh it sounds great. I love it when people incorporate angst and humor. Thank you so much for this one.

RE: Thank You
My pleasure, hope you enjoy! I forgot to mention, there's also some excellent wing!kink in the series. :-)

Have you checked [livejournal.com profile] deancasbigbang lately? They've been posting lots of lengthy fics with various themes. :)

Thank you
No I have not but I'll be sure to check it out.

Here are a few of my favorite long stories, sorry most of these are not humorous. All of the stories I have in my humor file are less than 10k in length. These are all Dean/Cas.

Long and Lonesome Highway by Sorka42 http://archiveofourown.org/series/14143

Metaphysical Gravity by zoemathemata. http://zoemathemata.livejournal.com/10445.html

There's Only One Sure Thing That I Know by blinkiesays. http://blinkiesays.livejournal.com/144440.html. This one has some humor.

The Long Road Back by Nicole. http://bleeding-muse.livejournal.com/78176.html.

Convenient Husbands by Annie D. http://archiveofourown.org/works/432705. They have this tagged as a romantic comedy.

Ghosts of Future Past by etrix. http://archiveofourown.org/works/512891/chapters/904602. Most of this author's stories are on the long side, so you might want to look through them, although they usually are pretty angsty.

A Subtle Touch of Grace by bluetoastfics. http://bluetoastfics.livejournal.com/28925.html. A good story, but a definite tearjerker.

You probably already know about these especially if you're really into destiel stories, but since I don't see it already listed below I'll go ahead and rec it just in case.

Unexpected Destinies (http://otp-destiel.livejournal.com/571.html)by Otp_destiel has currently 202 chapters and isn't done yet and is in my humble opinion THE long destiel fic that everyone should at least try. It's not exactly bottom! dean but he and cas do take turns so there is some of that in there.

Other fics would be anything by otp_destiel (http://otp-destiel.livejournal.com/)they are the best.

If I come across any more I think would fit for this I'll pop back in and leave their links as well, but these were the main ones for me.

Oh I have heard of Unexpected Destinies and have it bookmarked for later.

How (thanks to Gabriel) Dean and Castiel (accidentally) raised each other (and Sam) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/540915/chapters/961503)
Summary: In which, Gabriel meddles with the time line and Castiel becomes Dean's angel rather sooner than intended. (basically, dean meets cas when he's a kid, and they grow up together. it's adorable)

Sympathy for the Devil (and Dean Winchester) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/556708/chapters/992996)
Summary: "I'm Lucifer. I always have been. I just didn’t know it for like, the last five thousand fucking years, not until you broke the seal and I got my Grace back and realised exactly how much I was screwed over. Okay, so maybe there’s a few assholes I’d really like to explode, but really, I mostly just want to stay under the radar and get my head sorted.”
After the final Seal is broken, Dean discovers that he's actually Lucifer. He's not really sure how he feels about that. The forces of Heaven and Hell aren't exactly making things easier. (this one is pretty hilarious, but there's a bit of angst at the end)

The Vampire Dean Chronicles (http://angel-kink.livejournal.com/13234.html)
Summary: What if Dean had killed when he was a vampire and couldn't be turned back into a human? This is an AU season 6 from that perspective. (slightly angsty, but not overly so. Also, I think it's bottom!dean, but it's pretty good regardless)
